Anti black slurs in upper Manhattan? I'm wondering if it was a bunch of Dominican kids picking on a Haitian or something, usually I don't see a lot of anti-black racism there of all places.

It is an underappreciated form of anti-Black racism, and very well could be the case (but we don’t know the details yet).
I was left with a lasting impression by this article of how bad it can be (this is specifically referring to Mexican neighborhoods in LA). It just wasn’t the image I had always conjured up when thinking about “racism”.

Doesn't matter, Latin America is filled with confused people who cling to colorism to boost their self-esteem. It's a relic of colonialism/slavery thats still part of the culture. The common refrain 'mejorar la raza' (improve the race) encourages miscegenation with whites and lighter skinned Latinos to dilute Black ancestry.
